Chapter 99: Accidental Injury
Ludwig quietly climbed in through the window, intending to scare Amber, but before he could touch her, the male insect suddenly attacked with lightning speed, knocking him to the ground with a sweeping kick, with every move containing murderous intent.
Military girls have animal instincts in their blood and are easily angered.
Ludwig reflexively fought back, the nails on his right hand suddenly grew into a worm state and stabbed fiercely at Amber's neck. At the critical moment, he suddenly regained his senses and stopped his movements. In the blink of an eye, he was hit on the shoulder and was knocked back by Amber, with a fishy and sweet taste in his throat.
"Ludwig—?!"
The lights in the room had been broken during the fight, and the light was dim. Amber thought it was the assassin who had returned and had struck him so hard, but she didn't expect it was Ludwig. He quickly stepped forward to help the other person up, and his face changed for a moment:
"Why don't you go through the front door and climb through the window?"
Ludwig's face turned pale, and he gritted his teeth inwardly, feeling aggrieved for no apparent reason: "I'm afraid your grandfather will see it."
They have no relationship now, and it is not right for him to visit someone in the middle of the night, so he can only "find another way". He didn't expect Amber to be so cruel and almost took his life just now.
Amber took out a spare rechargeable lamp from the drawer, and the bedroom finally became a little brighter. He helped Ludwig lie on the sofa, frowning: "Unbutton your coat, let me see your injury."
He didn't use enough strength just now. It would be bad if he really hurt my lungs.
Ludwig held down his hand that was unbuttoning his clothes, a blush appeared on his pale face, and he said fiercely: "Sir, I am an unmarried female insect, how can I unbutton my clothes in front of you?"
Amber paused when she heard this, pretending not to know his little thoughts, and took her hand back: "Okay, then you can go to the hospital yourself."
Ludwig choked when he heard this: "But you caused my injury."
Amber smiled and said, "I know, so I will pay for all your medical expenses."
Ludwig: “!!!”
Ludwig was so angry that he suddenly sat up from the sofa, but he accidentally pulled his arm and fell back with a groan.
Amber's fingertips twitched slightly when she saw this, and she subconsciously wanted to help him, but she remembered something and quietly hid it in her sleeves. He sat on the carpet with his back against the sofa and his knees bent, looking calm and composed.
Amber heard Ludwig's muffled voice from behind her: "You have no intention of getting engaged to me?"
Amber looked back suspiciously: "Why do you say that?"
Ludwig's lips were pursed into a straight line, not knowing how to start the conversation. After all, it was embarrassing for a female insect to say such a thing. He frowned and looked away, only to find that the bedroom was in a mess, as if a war had been fought. "Why is your room so messy?"
The air was filled with goose down from the quilts, the tables and chairs were tilted, and even the vases were broken into pieces, as if a war had just taken place.
Amber didn't explain too much: "Nothing, a thief suddenly broke into the house just now, and we had a fight and he ran away accidentally."
Ludwig's face changed when he heard this. This is the central protection area. Let alone home robbery, there is not even a thief on the street. How could a thief suddenly run into Amber's room? But the most important thing now is not this. He temporarily suppressed his doubts and looked at the male insect: "Are you injured?"
Amber shook her head: "No, although he wanted to kill me, his skills were not good enough."
Ludwig forgot about the pain. He sat up from the sofa, holding his shoulder and said solemnly, "Since he wants to kill you, he is no ordinary thief. If we don't find him this time, there will definitely be a second time."
Amber got up from the ground and sat down on the edge of the sofa. Maybe it was because the night was too quiet, but his deep voice had a false sense of gentleness: "Don't worry about this matter, I will handle it myself."
There is no benefit in getting involved.
Ludwig raised his eyebrows defiantly: "What if I insist on interfering?"
He has always been a protective person, and he raised his chin slightly, "I will check the surveillance tomorrow, and if the whole network is wanted, we will be able to catch him within three days, and then put him in Interstellar Prison. You can let him live or die if you want him to."
Amber thought that the other party had gone invisible, and Ludwig's surveillance was probably in vain. He couldn't help but smile, thinking that this female insect was quite interesting: "What if it turns out to be a male insect? Would you dare to kill it?"
There was a subtle seriousness hidden under his joking tone, as if he really wanted to know whether the other party would dare to do something that would get him shot.
Ludwig didn't dodge or evade when he heard this. He leaned close to Amber's ear, his eyes seemed to be burning with two clusters of seductive and passionate sparks, and he said word by word with a curled lip: "Sir, if you are my partner, then our destinies will coexist."
"My glory is your glory, and your guilt is my guilt."
So,
"What's the big deal about killing a male insect?"
The thoughts of the emperor are always obscure and selfish, give three points and keep seven points. Amber's memories of her previous life were fragmentary, and she couldn't remember whether she had ever met someone as frank and passionate as Ludwig, who was as painful as a fire and could not be touched, but was fearless and reckless.
And the fire now fell into his palm.
Amber couldn't help but move closer to the other party, and finally stopped when he was only an inch away. He looked at the female insect in front of him carefully, and his soft breaths intertwined with each other, long and warm: "Major General Ludwig, are you hinting at something to me?"
Ludwig asked back, “Is there?”
Amber kissed him lightly and whispered, "Yes, I have."
Ludwig's cheeks flushed: "No, I said no."
So stubborn.
Amber kissed him directly, kissing Ludwig until he was dizzy, and then they fell on the sofa together, holding each other. His fingertips moved slightly, and finally moved to the platinum button on the collar of the female insect's military uniform, and asked in a low voice:
"Can you solve it?"
Although he just wanted to see the damage, as Ludwig said, the reputation of female insects is valuable, and he would not force it if the other party was unwilling.
The night was cool, but the temperature in the house was scorching hot.
Ludwig remained silent after hearing this, and after a moment, he unbuttoned his military uniform. He turned his head to the side, not daring to look Amber in the eye, and only felt that his skin was getting a little cold as his clothes were peeled off.
Years of high-intensity combat have endowed Ludwig with beautiful and smooth muscle lines, and his skin is as smooth as cold jade. At this moment, due to shame and embarrassment, a faint blush appeared on his face, and the scars left on his body by the battles were somewhat conspicuous.
Most military females worry that they will displease their male masters after marriage, so they will choose to use medical means to remove scars, but Ludwig has never had such an idea. Their lives will always be accompanied by endless wars, and scars represent merits. He will not erase his proud merits in order to please the male insect.
Amber rubbed Ludwig's shoulder with her fingertips, where there was a large purple bruise, thinking that the palm strike just now was really too strong. In a trance, he seemed to sigh, lifted the female insect up and leaned her against his arms, gathered his inner strength with his palms, and rubbed the bruises for her one by one: "Don't climb through the window next time."
Ludwig pursed his lips, looking a little unhappy: "If I come in through the front door and meet your grandfather, what should I say?"
Amber didn't care: "Just say whatever you want to say."
Fernando couldn't interfere with any of his decisions.
Hearing this, Ludwig simply rested his head on Amber's legs and looked up at him. His platinum-gold hair fell in front of his eyes in a mess, and his amber pupils reflected the scattered light. The sofa could not accommodate his slender legs, so he had to half-hang down, and his black military boots swayed. "What did you say? Did you say that I came over to meet you in the middle of the night?"
He won't stop until he is scared.
Amber looked at him with interest: "Do you dare?"
Ludwig curled his lips proudly: "Why shouldn't I dare?"
Perhaps because Amber was so indifferent, this kind of flirting was particularly interesting. Ludwig hesitated for a moment, and finally threw aside the shame of not being able to eat or drink, took the initiative to reach out and hold Amber's neck, forcing her to lower her head and kiss her.
Ludwig bit Amber's lips in revenge, and said in a low voice, with a hint of dissatisfaction and complaint: "When are you going to get engaged to me again?"
When he was in the military, he couldn't talk too much with Amber, and after get off work, he couldn't be too intimate with her in public. Even if they wanted to meet, he had to sneak through the window in the middle of the night. Ludwig always felt suffocated by having an affair.
Amber's dark eyes flashed with a smile: "Is it urgent?"
He was not in a hurry actually, because there were too many things to do, but if Ludwig was so anxious, it would not be impossible to do it earlier.
Ludwig frowned and bit Amber's earlobe. The temperature was cold, but it became wet and warm under the licking of the tip of his tongue: "Sir, there are countless advantages to being a partner with me. Why are you always hesitant?"
Amber: “Benefits?”
Ludwig gave an example: "Wealth, status, power, aren't these enough?"
Amber remained silent. He wanted to say that he was once rich and had all the power in the world at his fingertips. Those things were valuable, but they were also worthless. After all, they were not as valuable as the moon and stars in the sky, nor as valuable as the true love of others, because these things could not be forced by external force.
When his dynasty was at its peak, was there anyone who ever gave him true love?
Time flies by and Amber can no longer remember.
He just felt that the female insect in his arms was inexplicably familiar, and it seemed that a crack had appeared in his usually emotionally indifferent brain, which slowly spread to the surroundings.
The system emerged silently from behind Amber. If it had a human face, its expression would be solemn and puzzled, because it found a thin light pink strip suddenly appeared in Amber's brain. Although it was extremely faint, weaker than smoke, the system still clearly recognized that it was a thread of love.
Something Amber shouldn't have.
Love represents the seven emotions and six desires, and love is the essence of these things. As early as in the previous two lives, Amber had his love extracted twice, so it is natural that he would lose some normal human emotions.
This is a very scary phenomenon, because over time, Amber will gradually become a cold-blooded person, and her cold personality in this life will begin to show, but the system never expected that a new love thread will begin to grow in his mind.
【……】
What is going on?
The system couldn't figure it out, and disappeared in a slightly disappointed manner, because the next scene was too ambiguous and not suitable for viewing.
"Ludwig, those things don't appeal to me that much..."
Amber gently stroked the corners of Ludwig's eyes with her fingertips. "Do you know what the most precious thing in the world is?"
He did not say it was the most precious, only that it was the rarest.
Ludwig remained silent.
Amber's fingertips slowly moved down to his chest, and slowly drew a circle at the position of his heart, itching and swelling:
"It's true, a true heart."
Ludwig's eyelashes trembled for a moment when he heard this. He was born and raised on the planet Alicia. In all these years, he had never seen the kind of things Amber said in the Zerg tribe. Even he himself didn't know whether he was sincere or not.
Maybe there is, otherwise why would he do something so unkind of like climbing through the window in the middle of the night and sharing wealth and status with the other party?
Although Ludwig thought so in his heart, he pursed his lips unconsciously and refused to say a word.
Amber lowered her eyes and stared at him. Her black eyes were mysterious and seductive. She asked half seriously and half jokingly, "Ludwig, can you give me these?"
Ludwig frowned: "You don't want power or wealth, just this?"
Amber narrowed her eyes: "You don't understand, these are just additional things of sincerity."
Ludwig, if you are willing to give your true heart to one person, then your power, wealth and status will belong to that person.
Ludwig was silent for a moment, then asked, "Sir, what can I get?"
Amber was stunned for a moment, then she came to her senses and chuckled, "Ludwig, what do you want?"
“…”
Ludwig himself didn't know. He seemed to have gained a lot from childhood to adulthood, but also seemed to have gained nothing. He reached out and hooked Amber's tie, slightly exerting force to bring her closer to him. His amber eyes once turned almost black in the shadows, showing an ambition that could not be seen during the day:
"You know what I want."
Amber knew for sure. He thought that this female insect would not accept any loss. He thought for a moment and smiled, "Then... how about I go to Duke Bach to discuss the engagement next week?"
Actually, Amber had planned to go next week. As long as Ludwig didn't get engaged, those Star Network media would smear and blame him for everything. They said he was unlucky in marriage before, and who knows what the situation would be if the rumor spreads again.
After Amber said this, the tension on her tie finally loosened a little, and her fingertips slowly slid down.
Ludwig pursed his lips and said, "No, I'll go and tell them myself, you don't have to show up."
Duke Bach had never approved of him and Amber being together in the first place, and he might not object after hearing the news. To avoid an embarrassing situation, he would rather handle it himself.
Amber, however, picked him up from the sofa, turned around and left the messy master bedroom, and strode towards the guest bedroom next door. The icy temperature around him melted a little, and he became inexplicably calm and reliable:
"It's my duty to meet my elders. Do I have to learn to climb windows like you every day?"
Ludwig's expression slowed down after hearing this, and he looked away awkwardly: "I didn't say that, it's just that Grandpa doesn't agree with me being with you, if we end up arguing..."
Amber tilted her head and kissed his hair, then said simply, "Leave it to me."
